Mullet’s Metal Roofing is a division of Mullet’s Aluminum Products, Inc., one of the largest aluminum manufacturers in the Southern United States. Based in Sarasota, Florida, our products are Made in America and engineered specifically for Florida’s coastal climate. With experience dating back to 1978, our team of insured, and factory-trained professionals is committed to quality, safety and precision in every roof we install.
Metal roofing offers exceptional durability, energy efficiency and long-term value. Unlike traditional shingles, metal roofs can last a lifetime with minimal maintenance. They reflect heat to reduce energy costs, resist fire and wind damage and are environmentally friendly.
In addition, Mullet’s Metal Roofing panels are designed to enhance the overall architectural appeal of your home while providing maximum windstorm protection and Class-A fire resistance.
We manufacture and install several premium options to fit your design and performance needs:
- Standing Seam Metal Roofing: A sleek, modern system with concealed fasteners for a clean finish and superior weather resistance
- 5V Crimp Roofing: A classic Florida favorite known for its strength and coastal charm
Each system is available in Galvalume Plus or Aluminum panels, with finishes offered in a variety of colors and textures (smooth, striated or ribbed).
This is one of the most common misconceptions. Metal roofs installed by Mullet’s Metal Roofing are quiet and comfortable. Our systems are installed over a plywood substrate with a self-adhering synthetic underlayment, which eliminates noise caused by rain. The combination of metal, wood and underlayment creates an acoustically insulated barrier that’s as quiet as a traditional shingle roof.
Our roofing systems are produced to exacting specifications and field measurements that are specific to each project. In addition, each roof is fabricated and installed by full-time, factory-trained professionals, not subcontractors, guaranteeing consistency, safety and superior quality.
A properly installed metal roof can last 50 years or more, significantly outlasting traditional roofing materials. Our aluminum and Galvalume panels resist corrosion, wind and UV damage ensuring long-term protection for your investment.
Many insurance companies even prefer metal roofs for their proven durability and weather resistance.
Yes. Metal roofing is one of the most sustainable roofing materials available. It’s made from recyclable materials, reflects sunlight to lower cooling costs and reduces landfill waste by lasting decades longer than asphalt shingles. Our materials are sourced and manufactured in the U.S.A., reducing transport emissions and supporting American manufacturing.
When re-roofing, our installers lay tarps on the ground around your home to collect any screws, fasteners, etc. that are removed and may fall to the ground during the tear-off phase and legally dispose of the old roofing material. Then a thorough inspection of the plywood substrate and fasteners is performed to ensure they meet Florida Building Code standards. Next, a self-adhering underlayment and MAPI metal roofing system are installed to guarantee long-term structural performance.
Getting started is easy. Simply contact Mullet’s Metal Roofing for a consultation. Our experts will guide you through selecting the right material and finish for your home, provide a detailed estimate and ensure a smooth installation experience, from the first quote to final inspection.
